Toyota Prius Prime - 2017 - 2022 - EcoHitch® Trailer Hitch

Can you put a trailer hitch on a 2017-2022 Toyota Prius Prime?
Yes, you can put a trailer hitch on a 2017-2022 Toyota Prius Prime because the EcoHitch Stealth is specifically designed for 2017-2022 Toyota Prius Prime models with a 100% bolt-on installation that requires no drilling. This application supports Prius Prime owners who want a vehicle-specific hitch that installs cleanly while adding towing and hitch accessory capability. Fitment and mounting alignment are confirmed during development so the hitch installs as intended when installed per instructions.

What is the towing capacity of the EcoHitch for the Prius Prime?
The EcoHitch towing capacity for the Prius Prime is rated for 2,000 pounds towing weight and 300 pounds tongue weight at the trailer ball. Use our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator to verify allowable load and ensure you are within safe limits.

Is the hitch visible when not in use?
No, the hitch is not visible when not in use because the Stealth EcoHitch features a completely concealed design with only the receiver visible and the receiver can be removed when not in use to make the hitch completely undetectable. This removable receiver approach supports owners who want towing and rack capability when needed, then a clean rear appearance when the receiver is removed. The concealed cross tube keeps the hitch structure out of sight while maintaining receiver access when in use.

What size receiver does the EcoHitch have?
The EcoHitch receiver size is a 2" receiver, allowing you to use all your existing hitch accessories without needing extra adapters that cause rattling or instability. A true 2-inch receiver supports direct use of common bike racks, cargo trays, and towing accessories, which is why many Prius Prime owners prioritize a standard 2-inch receiver interface. Use our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator to verify allowable load and ensure you are within safe limits.

Does the hitch interfere with the Prius Prime's rear hatch?
No, the hitch does not interfere with the Prius Prime's rear hatch because the EcoHitch is designed to not interfere with auto-latching and unlatching hatches on vehicles that include this feature. Preserving normal hatch operation is a common expectation when adding a concealed trailer hitch, and this integration supports daily convenience while adding towing and hitch accessory capability. Hitch packaging is developed to maintain the stated hatch function when installed per instructions.

How does the EcoHitch prevent scraping?
The EcoHitch prevents scraping because the receiver is angled upward just enough to provide superior ground clearance and ensure your rack and bikes remain level while avoiding scraping damage. This upward receiver angle addresses real driving conditions like steep driveways and ramps where low-hanging accessories can contact the ground, helping maintain clearance while keeping racks level as described. Receiver placement and geometry are developed for the Prius Prime application so the hitch maintains the intended clearance behavior when installed per instructions.

What can I use the EcoHitch for on my Prius Prime?
You can use the EcoHitch on your Prius Prime for bike racks, cargo trays, camping gear, and trailer towing without requiring separate adapters for different uses. This adapter-free receiver setup supports common Prius Prime use for towing and hitch-mounted accessories while keeping compatibility straightforward with standard receiver accessories. Use our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator to verify allowable load and ensure you are within safe limits.

Does the EcoHitch come with a warranty?
Yes, the EcoHitch comes with Torklift's Legendary Lifetime Warranty and is proudly made in America, providing long-term coverage and support aligned with the hitch’s design and manufacturing controls. Legendary Lifetime Warranty coverage is included with the EcoHitch as stated, giving Prius Prime owners warranty-backed confidence for towing and accessory use over the long term.

Can I install this at home, or do I need a certified mechanic?
You can install the EcoHitch for the 2017 - 2022 Toyota Prius Prime at home because it is a bolt-on installation that does not require the bumper to be removed and only standard hand tools are needed, though professional installation support is available if you prefer that option. If you prefer for installation to be done by a professional installer, we have a large network of certified installers across the country. Visit our Certified Dealer Locator here.
